This thread goes from bad to worse. Funny assassinations! Best ones! Laughter all around. What a riot! And then some people have the gall to trash me for responding to a MAGA thread.

"best" assassination not funny to you? assassinations, ranked!

gilbert gottfried making 9/11 jokes at the roast of hugh hefner was a legend

yes yes youre not answering me again and you still have your don quixote one track mind which must subsume all subjects to one subject because obsession must obsess

but i'm just leaving this up anyway in general defense of jokes

Abe was a right-wing conservative even by the standards of Japanese politics, fully defensive of war crimes and sex slavery from WWII, actively working towards remilitarising the country and provoking reactions from Korea and China, and connected with the ultra-nationalist and anti-feminist lobby group Nippon Kaigi.
The actual assassination was over Abe's links with the Unification Church, an obsessively anti-communist religious group that's been heavily involved in Japanese politics (half of his last cabinet was connected to it). The assassin's mother had basically fallen victim to cult practices and it had left her family impoverished, so this was basically a grudge killing over a connected target.
Did he deserve to die? Maybe not. But by any measurement it's about the most successful assassination in history - zero suspicion beforehand, nobody else taken out, and it completely worked; the Japanese government (still from Abe's party, who've been in power for almost the entirety of the last seventy years) began to discuss the church's influence more heavily and introduced legislation to restrict the donations they could receive (although it wasn't formally stripped of its religious status). Plus it was just exciting to see it happen.

You are sick. And whatever research you did to obtain all of these conclusions comes from extremely one-sided sources.

This place is worse than twitter/X now.

I absolutely hate Teflon Don with all of my heart and soul. Do I wish him to be assassinated (like he almost was!)? No!! Cheering for and celebrating such things gets us (collectively) nowhere. It's sick.

(Now....if he has a heart attack from all of that KFC, or gets struck by lightning while golfing so much less than Obama did, then.....)

Every time I open this fuckass message board it’s just people being unspeakably shitty to each other in ways I never would have expected when I came here more frequently.

i was aware of his hawkish stance, but japan has been in the submissive role for too long and they have to be able to defend themselves at some point. china is no saint (it's just that nobody is), america is less and less reliable as decades pass and ideologies shift (we're also an occupying power, just everybody got accustomed to it at this point)

yes, the moonies, we've had them for ages, they own the washington times newspaper here in dc, and who knows what else. you can "connect" them to a lot of people via donations and editorial policy i suppose

it think it was "successful" because it was so randomly motivated? totally out of nowhere. plus it yielded nothing?

Baltimore High School Valedictorians Take it to the Top

What do an aspiring biologist, computer scientist, gender/sexuality theorist and engineer have in common?

They all had the highest grade point average in their graduating class.

For four recent graduates of Baltimore-area high schools, achieving the distinction was no simple feat, but all felt driven to push themselves toward it.

[...]

Luigi Mangione, who was valedictorian of Gilman’s graduating class this year, based the speech he delivered at graduation around a similar theme: maintaining tradition while also pioneering innovations.

 

Gilman Valedictorian Luigi Mangione

Mangione felt that the environment at Gilman fostered his ability to excel academically. “The teachers at Gilman influenced me especially,” he wrote in an email, adding that they encouraged less of a desire to achieve high grades in his classes and instead encouraged “more of an excitement to explore academic topics outside of the classroom.”

Like Sands, his favorite class in high school was biology (though his favorite changed from year to year), and he plans to pursue a dual degree in artificial intelligence at University of Pennsylvania. The track includes a degree in computer science and cognitive science, and though Mangione thinks his path may change, he is sure he will be studying engineering in some capacity.

[...]

The backstory I've gathered is that he had back surgery recently, was left with debt and painkillers, spun out from his family and basically went off the deep end into whatever this was. By no means a principled radical, but based on recent history nobody is anymore.

Ok....ya got me! He was "smart" in certain ways.

(Was Unabomber a math prof?)

But eating at McD's and having an employee call 911? Wearing your murder-gear while lowering your mask to flirt?
